OBSERVE 2. The first thing I noticed when I looked at this picture was that there are only white people no black people. 3. The people and objects that are shown are seven white people and also it looks like a resturant is shown. I also see a CocaCola sign and a garbage can. 6. The words I see are "feed", "flour", "eggs", "grocers", and "wholesale". REFLECT 1. I think this image was made to show us that white people had more time and money during The Great Depression. Also, it is showing us that white people and black people were segregated at this time. 6. From examining this image I can learn all about The Great Depression and also about segregation and the hardships of the people at this time. 8. If someone made this picture today I think that there would be a more diverse group of people and everything would look more modern. QUESTION 1. Who are these people? 2. What are they doing? 4. Where are they?
